Why is the NBA Travel Program different?

Our teams are comprised of players with above average ability. Using this model, our instructors can focus on the advanced stages of development.

Should I join NBA?

Our program is not for everyone. This program is only designed for athletes who want to take their game to the next level. Extensive training and travel will be required.

How do I join?

Tryouts are typically in early summer. Individual evaluations may be possible on a case by case basis. Please contact us for details.

Why fewer teams?

While the trend of organizations is to form as many teams as possible, we have decided to do something completely different. We need to focus on developing players; therefore, our program will be about quality not quantity.

How do we measure results?

Our single most important goal is to make every player better. While we intend to win each time we take the field, we will focus on the process and not the results. In doing so, we teach players to be confident in their development rather than focusing on their results. Focusing mainly on results will often cause frustration and also cause a player to lose confidence. Our players will learn that mastering the process will help them reach their desired goals.

Must I commit full time?

Yes. NBA will track the development of each and every player. To do this, its necessary that all players fully commit.

Who will be my coach?

Our teams will be coached by Norfolk Baseball Academy instructors.

Will this program get me in to college?

No. Unfortunately there is not a program that guarantees entry into college. However, we will assist our players with college placement. Our schedules will be designed so that our players will have opportunities for maximum exposure.

Is your program tax exempt?

Yes. Our program falls directly under Norfolk Baseball Academy, Inc which is a 501-C3 Organization.

Why is your program the best?

Our staff brings over 100 years of combined experience in professional, college, high school and travel baseball. Along with the resources Norfolk Baseball Academy has to offer the product we are able to offer is unmatched in the Tidewater area.
